On Monday, July 17, 2006, the new Botany: Celebrating Wildflowers web site
will be viewable by the public. Every Region, Forest, Grassland and
Prairie contributed to the content of this new site. Detailers from
across the nation came into the Range staff and assisted in the
development of emphasis area content such as Pollinators, Beauty of it
All, Native Gardening, Just for Kids, and Teacher Resources to name a few.
This new web site is the gateway to an enormous amount of botanical
information provided by our partners. The majority of our partners are
reciprocating with links to our new web site, which will dramatically
increase the traffic to our site and will also emphasize our close working
relationship with our public and private partners. Our partners will soon
be disseminating information about our new site to their audiences.
A number of other modules such as rare plants, native plant materials,
ethnobotany, lichens, ferns and other botany subject areas are currently
under development and will posted to the web site as they become
finalized. I am extremely proud of the work the botanists, plant
ecologists and other resource specialists and our many partners
contributed to the current content of this site. I invite you to visit
this new Forest Service web site and enjoy the content. The url is:

Please ensure wide distribution of this letter to your employees and
partners.

Director, Rangeland Management
